Party in the Library

Widener: quite strict,
Quiet environment, and
Closely protected.

Second largest one
In the world (?), or so I hear.
Cases and cases...

Lamont: adjacent
To Widener, but friendly.
Much more relaxed.

Small study area,
But they have private cartels
And a nice cafe.

Cabot: way across
Campus in the Sci Center,
Great when I have class.

I want to take out
Books from the genetics shelves!
Time to study now.

Weekend

Spent the afternoon
By the Charles River on
A very hard bench.

I was having a
Very peaceful time reading
Research papers... yeah...

But then an old man
Wearing short shorts and sweating
Sat down beside me.

And this crossed my mind:

DI-NO-SA-UR a dinosaur,
an OL-DM-AN, you're just an old man
Sittin' with me, what? You need a cat scan!!

Surprised, Astonished, Thrilled

See the acronym?
(SAT in the title)
I'm so satisfied.

I checked Collegeboard
Early this morning and found
One 800. YEAH!!!

Biology-M;
US History, Math II
Were high enough too.

I hate to gloat but
I feel really smart right now.
Can't wait for APs.

Homesick Hotline

I felt all alone.
My dorm, spacious and daunting
Could not console me.

Then, three hundred miles
Away, ten o'clock at night,
You lent me comfort.

Over the phone, a
Minute-draining long-distance
Call, you helped me through.

Your voice, so even
And deep, and calming, against
Mine, broken with sobs.

I became so tired:
Did you seriously stay
On the line 'till twelve?

It wasn't a dream...
You were really there for me
When I missed you most.

"Even if it takes
All night, I'll be on the line
Until you're asleep."

You said, determined
And without a single yawn.
You are so loyal.

And now, I realize
I did make it through the night
All because of you.

Thank you, thank you, thank
You, I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love...

Your kindness to me.
Let me return the favor
Whenever you need.

Harvard Summer School

I am all settled
On the second floor, Lowell
... So far from Harvard.

I always take a
Ten-minute walk across the
Square to reach campus.

Class starts tomorrow.
I'm quite nervous; I prepared
As much as I could.

Independence feels great,
For I can walk anywhere
To find what I need.

Summer School

Only 5 more days
'Till I depart for Harvard.
Peace, love, Veritas!
